Really looking forward to First Man. No, not only because of Claire Foy (swoon). Having grown up in Houston in the late 60s/early 70s, NASA is part of our DNA. Particularly the Apollo and Skylab programs. That was a huge part of our identity as a city, so those stories are very special to me.

I went to Ed White elementary school in the 70s and a large picture of him in his space suit was the first thing I saw as I walked through the doors every day. The trailer looks like they may address his death in this film. Even if it’s just a few moments like it was in Apollo 13, it will still be nice to see him mentioned.

It’s still a big deal to me 45 years later. My desktop picture at work is a picture from the Apollo program and I regularly listen to the audio from the Gemini, Apollo, and Skylab missions while I work. I have several hours from most of them.
